Monitoring the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is a beetle that poses a serious threat to ash trees. Purple traps are often used to detect or monitor populations of this pest. In the counties of your state where the beetle is present, thousands of traps are used to monitor the population. These traps are checked periodically. The distribution of beetle counts per trap is discrete and strongly skewed. A majority of traps have no beetles, and only a few will have more than two beetles. For this exercise, assume that the mean number of beetles trapped is 0.43, with a standard deviation of 0.95. Suppose that your state does not have the resources to check all the traps, so it plans to check only an SRS of traps. What is the mean of the average number of beetles in 150 traps

Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? recent 78 90 90 79 57 101 62 87 71 87 81 84 57 80 74 103 62 past 88 89 93 94 65 85 85 92 87 91 89 91 follow the steps of hypothesis testing, including identifying the alternative and null hypothesis, calculating the test statistic, finding the p-value, and making a conclusions about the null hypothesis and a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. use a significance level of 0.10. is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? answer choices below: a) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.01 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.10. b) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is not rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used. c) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.10 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.01. d) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used.
